Location: The Selous
The Selous in central Tanzania is a giant, uncontrollable river delta a bit like the bottom of Louisiana. It’s a reserve the size of West Virginia and a UNESCO Heritage Site.
Approximately half of all of Tanzania is drained by the Rufiji and Ruaha Rivers through The Selous into the Indian Ocean. This is a wild unkempt wilderness, not quite as ever-changing as Botswana’s Delta, but similar. The great sand rivers change courses easily.
The Selous is not for everyone. Even at the cooler time of the year it’s extremely hot and humid. Game viewing is restricted to not very many tracks, or by boat on the Rufiji River. But it is the river which makes this such a wonderful safari experience. And with a massive dam planned, it’s an urgent experience, as well.
You’ll see tons of giraffe and impala together with waterbuck and buffalo, zebra and wildebeest, and even elephants on the dense game area along the shores of the lakes and river.
The gorgeous impala antelope is a browser and feeds on the scrub which defines the entire area. You’ll also see waterbuck, some bushbuck and buffalo.
But perhaps the single most impressive thing about river game viewing in The Selous is the crocodile experience. There are so many the place begins to look like a set for an Indiana Jones movie. Probably not as big as you will find on the Mara or Grumeti Rivers, or in far north Kenya, but the sheer numbers staggers the imagination. These crocs subside mostly on fish, and there are some incredible fish in the river.
